Michael Miller Euler, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed that the trial court did not violate appellant Euler's Fourteenth Amendment due‑process rights by revoking his probation and imposing punishment without a separate hearing on sentencing. The court held that any evidence on mitigation must be presented at the revocation hearing, and it rejected appellant's claim of a right to a distinct punishment hearing. Justice Meyers, in a concurring opinion, agreed with the result but argued the majority improperly suggested a due‑process right to present sentencing evidence at the revocation hearing.
